EARTHLINK IS SELECTED AS HOUSTON'S WIFI PROVIDER
[SOURCE: Houston Chronicle, AUTHOR: Alexis Grant & Matt Stiles]
Houston has chosen Atlanta-based EarthLink Municipal Networks to provide a citywide, wireless Internet network within the next two years. While the agreement with EarthLink still needs City Council approval, its terms put Houston in line to have the largest such network in North America, covering nearly all of the city's 600 square miles by spring of 2009, White told the Chronicle. Some low-income residents could get subsidized access for as little as $10 a month, and most customers would pay less than they do now. After announcing Tuesday that Internet service provider EarthLink has been selected to build the city's wireless network, Mayor Bill White wasted no time moving toward the next step -- City Council approval.
